The Chairman of the Edo state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Dr. Tony Aziegbemi has expressed the Party's gratitude to Edo voters over what he described as landslide victory in the local government elections of 2nd September 2023.

He said the outcome of the election was reflective of the party's dominance in the state and the vigorous campaigns carried out by the party across all the 18 LGAs, 192 Wards,4519 units in the state.


He stated this in a Press briefing today at the party's secretariat in Benin city, the Edo state capital.

According to Dr Aziegbemi, "On Saturday September 2nd , 2023, you all came out in your numbers and voted overwhelmingly for all the PDP chairmanship and councilorship candidates in the 18 local governments and 192 wards in the State. Indeed it was a loud endorsement and a vote of confidence in the PDP administration led by His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki, the Executive Governor of Edo State. 

"The outcome is reflective of the dominance of the PDP in Edo State and the vigorous campaigns carried out by the party across all the 18 LGAs, 192 Wards,4519 units in the state.

"The Edo State PDP will like to use this medium to thank and appreciate the State Independent Electoral Commission for standing upright and shunning all intimidation and blackmail tactics deployed by some enemies of democracy, before and during the Local Government Councils elections. The security agencies and members of the press are well appreciated for their vigilance that led to rancor free, fair and credible polls where the votes of the people counted. 

"The Edo State PDP also wishes to pay gloring tributes to His Excellency , the Governor of Edo State, for allowing the Edo State Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC), to be truly independent indeed thereby allowing for election results that reflect the wishes of the people. The Governor has by this displayed that he is a true democrat. 

"On our part, as a party, we shall strive to ensure that the elected representatives keep to the dictates of the manifesto of the party which emphasizes transperency, equity, fairness and justice in the utilization of resources for the development of our local governments for the overall benefits of our people. 

Speaking further he said, "we will not take this overwhelming vote of confidence in our party by the Edo State voters for granted. We make a covenant this day not to disappoint the people. 

"The elected chairmen and councillors will immediately key into the templates which have been put in place by the Governor Obaseki led administration that have seen Edo State becoming the hub of new businesses, educational revitalization, sports , agriculture and other essentials of development. 

"The Edo PDP will also like to pour ecomiums on the opposition parties for putting up a gallant fight. In democracy, the minority will have their say but the majority will always have the trophy. We extend our hands of fellowship to all who participated in the elections and call on them to join in our determination to make life meaningful and better for our people at the grassroots. The victory in such a contest does not belong to any individual or party but to democracy. 

"Once again, our sincere thanks and appreciation to all the voters who came out emmass to make this historic victory possible for the Edo State PDP."
